October Windstorm

The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for locations in our service area from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning, with winds gusts to 55 mph. These damaging winds moved through the Puget Sound region on Saturday. The windy weather has caused many outages around our service area. There are approximately 135,000 customers without power. We’ve opened our Emergency Coordination Center and local storm bases to coordinate restoration efforts.

Damage is heaviest in Pierce and Thurston counties. The high winds and resulting tree damage not only downed the smaller, local power lines, but also damaged the larger transmission lines – the power lines that bring power into the communities. 

Once it’s safe, crews will begin assessing damage and begin to bring transmission lines back online; these lines need to be brought back into service before crews can focus on the local distribution system.

 
alert 

Safety first. Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized. Call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.
